19 February 2009When Peter Milliken, Speaker of the House and M.P. for Kingston and the Islands, met President Barack Obama on Parliament Hill, he handed over a thoughtful gift. It’s a book called ‘In Roosevelt’s Bright Shadow’, edited by Arthur Milnes, fellow with the Centre for the Study of Democracy at Queen’s. The book presents addresses made to Parliament by many US presidents, beginning with Roosevelt, to whom Obama has often been compared.
